Watch my life unravel...
|
I’m happy – and surprised! – to have won three smiling beavers in the 2008 Canadian Blog Awards last night. Check it out: Best Personal Blog! Third Best Activities Blog! Best Local Blog! Many, many thanks to the people who nominated me* and to every single one of you who took the time to vote. Big […] I arrived at the corner of Bank and MacLaren this afternoon as three police officers were trying to put an unconscious, handcuffed woman into the back of a van. She looked like a rag doll. Then they changed their minds and laid her out on the sidewalk and sent for an ambulance. The female officer slid […] Remember back in the 1990s when Ontario Education Minister John Snobelen was caught boasting of the evil Conservative scheme to ‘manufacture a crisis’ in education? Basically, the scheme involved deliberately deceiving the public into believing that education spending was out of control, that educational standards were going down the toilet, that teachers were to blame, […] Last night we were on Nepean Street near Bank Street, and we saw a dead pigeon in the snow.

Email Lists (a): I subscribe to Artengine, and it sends me notices about all kinds of art-related events. There are a LOT of art-related events going on in Ottawa. For example, on Friday night […] I’m back to agonizing over the purchase of my next computer. This is something I do periodically before shoving it to the back burner again because I can’t decide between a Mac and a PC. I blame it on my indecisive Libra nature. I’ve been using PCs for about 20 years now. My current PC […] I was lucky yesterday because my birthday-twin Laura very kindly sent me a head’s-up about an event she knew I’d like. It was pottery artist Chandler Swain’s annual Christmas sale, which was being held in a private residence on Sunnyside Street. I loved it. GC and I were the very first customers to arrive, so we […] I used to sleep alone in my big double bed. Last January Duncan moved in, and as you know he’s kind of on the large size. He’s never been the kind of cat who sleeps with the feet. Right from the very first night, Duncan slept with his arm wrapped around me and his face […] |
